“I'm so grateful for Dr. Leak and his assistant! I was very worried about the healing process. They took a lot of time to explain what was going on and I feel great. Thank you all!”
“Dr. Leak is absolutely amazing! My daughter has been a patient of his since she was 3 days old! She is now 10! Between him and his nurse April they are a dynamic duo! I would refer ANY AND EVERYONE to him! He is not afraid to seek additional advice before performing major surgeries! They definitely are family!”
“I fell and completely broke my elbow.....watched my arm fall when I held it up. I wanted to be careful as to who did this repair. In the past I had good experiences with Strand Orthopedics with Dr. Ward repairing my rotator cuff and Dr. Pappas removing a neuroma so I returned to that group.
I was seen quickly and received excellent care. I have several friends who are doctors and looking at the Xrays were very impressed with the quality of surgery Dr. Leak performed. Dr. Leak is also a very pleasant man who took the time to answer all my questions with humor as well.
I would highly recommend him for any hand or arm issues you may have. In fact from my experiences with Strand Orthopedics, I could not imagine going anywhere else!!”
“I met Dr. Leak for the first time when I broke my wrist in 2015. He was wonderful and the scar is so thin it is barely noticeable. In November 2016 I Fractured my Ulna Forearm and once again returned to Dr Leak I wouldn't think of having anyone else treat me. He is a great Doctor and has an amazing sense of humor. I recently moved from Myrtle beach but if I ever have any problems with my bones I will definitely return to my favorite Doctor. God bless you Dr. Leak an thank you so much for taking care of me.”
“Dr. Leak is always a pleasure to see. He is so knowledgeable and very easy to talk with, and he is the best of the best of the physicians I have ever dealt with.”
“I was referred to Dr. Merritt via Grand Strand ER. He did not know me, all he he knew was what the X-Rays showed him. He is a kind considerate man, understood the pain I was in and did his best to get me into surgery as quickly as he could. Unfortunately for me, I have to have the wires in my knee replaced. This is by no reflection on Dr. Merritt, trust me...if something is going to go wrong it will be me! Thank You for your skills as a surgeon and for being one of the good guys.”
“My 12 year old was treated for a possible foot and ankle break. I am very pleased with the care that he received and will definitely recommend Strand Orthopaedic to my friends. Dr. Merritt was very helpful and kind as were all of the nurses and office staff.”
“Thank you Dr. Merritt you are a very kind, caring, and thoughtful doctor who shows compassion for his patients more doctors should be this way you should give a seminar for compassion for patients!!”
“I went too Dr Merritt for my knee, knowing that I need a knee replacement. He explained everything very clearly, I told him I would like too wait so he suggested a steroid shot, the pain is considerably better I will receive another shot in September, this is the first break from pain I have had in several months. He is understanding very and kind. I drive 2 hours too see and it has been worth it. Will recommend him highly.”
“I was accidentally struck by a low bed shopping cart at Costco and went down onto the concrete. Upon striking the concrete on my right hip, the fall broke the ball of the hip. Dr. Merritt performed the operation at 11 o'clock that evening and I was in a rehab facility 3 days later and 6 days later I walked out of the rehab facility. However while at the rehab facility I contracted a infection that went to the bone and he had to do the operation all over again. He put me in contact with Dr. Powers, a Infectious Disease Doctor, and between Dr. Merritt and Dr. Powers I am in great health after going back to AGI Physical Therapy in Little River, SC where Matt got me back onto my feet again. If I did not have the expertise of Dr. Merritt and him knowing who to send me to I honestly don't think I would be in the good condition that I am in today. Kudos to all of you and your staff.”
